A few years ago media really started to shoehorn the culture into script writing to the point a show or movie,

lol what? I need you to cite some examples bud.

To refute your premise - filmmaking has always about injecting messages into motion pictures. Remember when "It's a wonderful life" was investigated by the FBI for being 'anticapitalist'? Silkwood and Erin Brockovich were all about holding the powerful to account bud. It's part of cinema to use the medium to hold the powerful accountable, to illustrate the fucked up things our society is doing. This isn't new.
